THE BATTERY
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 10 bat-
tery for the hearing aid.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note
of the expiry date and the recommendations regarding disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.
INSERTING THE BATTERY
Before inserting a new battery into
the hearing aid, remember to remove the adhesive tab. Once the tab
has been removed, the battery will
start functioning after a few seconds. Do not use batteries on which
there is a sticky residue from the tab
or other unwanted substance.
Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery drawer
open. Do not press the drawer beyond the open position.
Place the battery in the drawer as illustrated, so that
the plus (+) sign on the battery is facing towards you
when you hold the hearing aid as shown. You can use
the battery magnet provided to steer the battery
into place.
If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery is incorrectly inserted.
When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the
hearing aid over a table.

REMOVING THE BATTERY
1. Open the battery drawer as previously described.
Place the hearing aid on the provided cloth on a
clean, plane surface and turn it as illustrated.
2. Supporting the drawer with your finger, use the
battery magnet provided to push the battery out
of the battery drawer from the minus side.
1 2
BATTERY DRAWER WITHOUT A NAIL GRIP
The hearing aid may be provided
with a battery drawer without a
nail grip, which means that you
need a tool to open the battery
drawer. This type of drawer can
be a good choice if the hearing
aid is worn by a child. A special
tool for opening the drawer will
be included with this drawer.
The battery drawer is opened as
illustrated.
Page 7
12 13
IMPORTANT
Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the battery
is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in particular
when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent on warning
signals.
LOW BATTERY INDICATION
An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is
nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disabled (see page 7). We recommend that you always
have a spare battery with you.
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.
Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing
aid.
TURNING THE HEARING AID ON AND OFF
The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions
as the on/off switch.
Close the battery drawer to turn on
the hearing aid. An acoustic indicator will indicate that the hearing aid
has been switched on unless this
function has been disabled.
Open the battery drawer to turn off
the hearing aid.
Please remember to turn off the
hearing aid when it is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid
will not be used for several days.
Page 8
14 15
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in
accordance with your sound environment.
Ordinarily you cannot fine-tune the volume in your
hearing aid. However, if you have a remote control,
this option becomes available.
In the default setting, any volume adjustment via the
remote control will affect both hearing aids.
For any adjustment of the steps in which volume increases or decreases, consult your hearing care professional.
If you have a remote control, please also refer to the
user instructions for this.
IMPORTANT
If the volume in the hearing aid is generally too loud or too weak,
or the reproduced sounds are distorted, or if you would like any
further information, consult your hearing care professional.
LOST PARTNER ALARM
(Note: Only applicable if this feature has been acti-
vated by your hearing care professional).
If one of your hearing aids falls off your ear, and/or
the battery is exhausted, a tone signal and a spoken
message will sound two times in the other hearing
aid, and a diode will flash on both hearing aids.
When the lost hearing aid is repositioned, and/or the
battery is exchanged, the diodes stop flashing.
Page 9
16 17
LISTENING PROGRAMS
By default, your hearing aid has one listening program (Master). If you have a remote control, your
hearing aid may additionally be provided with four of
the following programs, plus the special Zen program called Zen+.
Please also refer to the user instructions for your remote control.
Music For listening to music
TV For listening to the TV
Comfort Attenuates background noise
Reverse focus Focus on sounds from behind
Audibility Extender Makes high-frequency sounds
audible
Phone For listening to the telephone
Zen Generates different kinds of
tones. Contains one style
Compound programs
The Master program in one ear
and Zen, Audibility Extender,
Reverse focus or Phone in the
other
Zen+ Special Zen program with up to
three different Zen styles
If your needs change over time, the combination of
listening programs can be altered.
The Zen program may be used with amplification so
that both the surrounding sounds and the Zen tones
are heard together. Or, it may be used alone (without
amplification) in quiet when you are not required to
hear surrounding sounds.
The duration of the Zen play time can be set by your
hearing care professional according to your needs.
IMPORTANT
Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with hearing surrounding sounds including speech. The programs should not be
used when hearing such sounds is important. Switch the hearing
aid to a non-Zen program in those situations.

Page 14
26 27
HEAR ING AID WITH AN INSTANT EA R-TIP
THE ANCHOR
The anchor is supplied separately from the rest of the earset and can be used in different ways. First it is shown how
the anchor can be used without prior trimming:
Pull the pointed end of the
anchor through the upper
hole on the side of the tubing.
The angled grip should be
pointing towards the hearing
aid.
Continue pulling until the anchor is stopped by the grip at
the end.
Your ear-set is now ready for use and
is placed so that it rests comfortably
in your ear.
The anchor can also be trimmed to fit your ear. There
are several ways of doing this. Two such examples
are shown here:
EXAMPLE 1
Pull the pointed end of the anchor through the upper hole on
the side of the tubing. The angled
grip should be pointing towards
the hearing aid.
Continue pulling until the anchor
is stopped by the grip at the end.
Now turn the ear-set around.
Guide the pointed end of the anchor through the lower hole to
form a loop.
When the loop is the correct size
(according to instructions from your
hearing care professional), cut off
any excess, leaving only the loop.
Page 15
28 29
HEAR ING AID WITH AN INSTANT EA R-TIP
EXAMPLE 2
Pull the pointed end of the anchor through the upper hole on
the side of the tubing. The angled
grip should be pointing towards
the hearing aid.
Continue pulling until the anchor
is stopped by the grip at the end.
Loop the anchor in the direction
indicated by the dotted line and
arrows.
Guide the anchor through the lower
hole on the side of the tubing as illustrated to form a loop.
When the loop is the correct size
(according to instructions from your
hearing care professional), cut off
any excess, leaving only the loop.
GENERAL INFORMATION WHEN TRIMMING:
Take great care to cut off all the
excess so that the end of the anchor loop is flush with the small
hole and there are no sharp edges.
Use the tip of your finger to check for sharp edges. If
part of the anchor sticks out through the hole, creating an uneven surface, this may cause irritation of the
ear.

Caring for Your hearing aid
The hearing aid is a valuable object and should be
treated with care. Here are some things you can do
to prolong the life of your hearing aid:
• Turn off your hearing aid when it is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will not be used
for several days.
• When the hearing aid is not in use, keep it in its
case in a cool, dry location out of reach of children
and pets.
• Do not expose the hearing aid to extreme temperatures or high humidity.
• Do not wear your hearing aid while in the shower
or swimming, or when using a hair dryer, perfume
or other sprays.
• In environments with high humidity, a Widex drying kit may be used daily to reduce the amount of
moisture inside the hearing aid. See the instructions enclosed with the Widex drying kit.
Page 24
46 47
good adviCe and warnings
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if
swal lowed or used improperly. Swallowing or
improper use can result in severe injury or even
fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a physician
immediately.
• Keep hearing aids and their parts, accessories and
batteries out of reach of children and anyone else
who might swallow such items or otherwise cause
injury to themselves. Do not change batteries in
front of them and do not let them see where you
keep your battery supply. Discard used batteries
carefully.
• Batteries are very small and can easily be mistaken
for pills or the like. Never put a battery or hearing
aid in your mouth for any reason, as you may risk
swallowing it.
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or recharged. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as this
could cause permanent damage to their hear ing.
• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing but
can help you to make the best possible use of your
remaining hearing ability. However, you should be
aware that it takes time to get used to a new hearing aid and new sounds.
• When selecting a listening program, please remember that there are situations in which it is particularly important to be able to hear the surrounding sounds (e.g. traffic, warning signals).
• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumulation of earwax. Contact your physician/ENT
doctor if you suspect that a plug of earwax has accumulated in your ear. Earwax may not only reduce
your own hearing but also the effect of the hearing
aid considerably. It is a good idea to ask your physician to clean your ears a couple of times a year.
• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic
materials. Nonetheless, in rare cases skin irritation
may occur. If you notice skin irritation in or around
your ear or ear canal, contact your hearing care
professional.
Page 25
48 49
• Be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid
may involve a slightly increased risk of infection in
the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of
inadequate ventilation of the ear. We therefore recommend that you remove the hearing aid and earset from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to
be ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect
your hearing aid and ear-set as required. If an infection occurs, you should seek medical attention
and contact your hearing care professional for advice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid
parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol,
chlorine or similar substances.
• If you notice scratches in your ear canal, contact
your hearing care professional or ENT doctor for
advice.
• Your hearing aid uses a built-in transceiver for coordination between the hearing aids. The magnetic
field strength of the transceiver is very low.
• Your hearing aid has been tested for interference
according to international standards. Nevertheless,
it is possible that unforeseen interference may occur in the hearing aid due to electromagnetic radiation from other products such as alarm systems
and mobile phones.
• Although your hearing aid has been designed to
comply with the most stringent international electromagnetic compatibility standards, the possibility cannot be excluded that it may cause interference with other equipment, such as medical devices.
• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself.
• Do not wear your hearing aid during X-rays, scans
or radiation treatments. Other types of radiation,
such as that in a microwave oven, can also damage
your hearing aid. Radiation from, for example,
room surveillance equipment, burglar alarms and
mobile phones is weaker and will not damage the
hearing aid.
• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in
mines or other areas with explosive gases.
